| Summary: | Responses to the question about Jesus' identity have varied across history and culture. A contemporary Australian answer to this question requires attention to the fruits of feminist theological imagination. This essay thus first offers an overview of the key issues which this question raises within feminist theology generally, with particular attention to the maleness of Jesus, the symbolic universe of male titles, and the attempts made by women to “re-member Jesus”. Notes on recent Australian feminist responses to this question are then followed by a reading of Matthew 11:2–19 as a framework for a future understanding of the identity of Jesus. |
